SSKs have been going from anywhere between 120 and 220 dollars here, depending on condition, seller, and general fickleness of the market. the really important part is the number of plastic rivets remaining, which you can see by opening up the plastic chassis with a 5.5mm nut driver, or just shaking the thing around a bit (the rivet ends that have fallen off will sound a bit like maracas.

a board that's lost a lot of rivets requires repair. otherwise, cosmetic condition and vintage are really the determinants.

How much are old FACIT typewriters worth, either mechanical or electrical? Someone near my old folks has like ten of them, some of which are digital and record on tape. I couldn't take of any caps while they were there so I don't know which type of switch was inside, perhaps someone here knows. I took some pics but I forgot to bring a cable to my parents so I won't be able to post them until I get home, Tuesday.

So, any ideas?

Here are some pics. Some are fully mechanical, some are semi in that they print on paper but have electronic keys and some are digital. The pics were taken with an ancient phone in bad lighting, but it gives you an idea.

That filco has been discussed previously in this very thread. Someone is trying to sell it for $400 on Ebay buy it isn't worth even nearly that much. It is not very limited, and I believe even Newegg or as similar shop sells them for a little bit more than normal filcos.

Seriously though, a new Filco TKL can be had for $140-160, so I doubt you will get more than that. Yes, it was a limited production, but people usually won't pay over retail for even a limited run Filco.

1) FK-2001 (NIB w/ windows keys) Simplified White ALPS -> $20 - $30. More if it has the plastic lid. The ones with blue/green ALPS could reach $70.2) FK-2001 (older w/o windows keys, used condition) Complicated White ALPS -> same as above.3) WYSE PCE (no cable, used condition) Cherry MX Black -> People buy it for key caps, but some try to change the controller, e.g. Teensy. They are left with lots for 'vintage' MX black switches, which you'll see for sale on GH marketplace. The double shot key caps are nice, I'm talking quality and profile. It could reach $30.4) Fujistu Peerless (w/ windows keys, used condition) not sure what the switch is called -> Mitsumi switches. Those have membrane, some people love them, most hate them. The profile of the case is uncomfortable, higher than the standard. I saw them on eBay for $70, but I found BNIB at thrift store for $4. 7) Mitsumi (not sure if this one is worth much) -> $5

Well, as I stated, monetary issues drive people to do what they can. It's a rare item and $30 a cap isn't that bad. Any other commodity in society that isn't commonly sold would take on the same scaled pricing.

If you are being nice then sell them for $30 each. If you really need the money then stick them on eBay, start them at $30 and let people pay what they want for them. No point being nice if you really need the cash.

Hi! anyone care to help with value on this:KBC Poker with Cherry MX Red and ABS Keycaps?In pretty much perfect condition, have been using PBT Keycaps on it but I'd like to keep them for my replacement keyboard.

^ Since when he became an authority on the subject. The prices are just floating and a very good example is what happen with the latest eBay sales. But maybe we have some people from wallstreet capable to predict the future

Please refrain from mentioning me ever again. That is the authority, or would you like a reminder?

I have 4 guys that know every single CC trade that I ever made and they are more than happy to post. But I have not ask them. So your BS is not base on facts, What I post in your subforum was the same kind of BS that you post.
